Teemu Pulkkinen will be in the Detroit Red Wings lineup for the first time in 18 games Sunday versus the Philadelphia Flyers.
The 24-year-old, on the mend after dislocating his shoulder, has been activated from injured reserve. Detroit did not need a corresponding move to facilitate the transaction.
Pulkkinen had six goals and 11 points in 24 games before being driven into the board by Arizona Coyotes center Martin Hanzal.
The coaching staff will make a decision on who comes out on Sunday.
